HI ALL how about this: * * * * * HUMOR: Thanks to G. David Thayer <gdthayer@navicom.net>, who reports that the author is unknown to him. Shooting the breeze down at the veterans hospital, a trio of old-timers ran out of tales of their own heroic exploits and started bragging about their ancestors. "My great-grandfather, at age 13," one declared proudly, "was a drummer boy at Shiloh." "Mine," boasted another, "went down with Custer at the Battle of the Little Big Horn." "I'm the only soldier in my family," confessed vet number three, "but if my great-grandfather were living today he'd be the most famous man in the world." "What'd he do?" his friends wanted to know. "Nothing much. But he would be 165 years old."
